Tobia 14

BIBBIA VOLGARE	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 E finirono i sermoni di Tobia. E vivette, poi ch' egli fue ralluminato, quarantadue anni; e vidde i figliuoli delli suoi nepoti.	1 So Tobit made an end of praising God.
2 E da poi ch' egli ebbe vivuto cento due anni, fu seppellito nella città di Ninive onorevolmente.	2 And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.
3 Certo egli perdè il lume de' suoi occhii nel cinquantasei anno della sua etade; e già avea sessanta anni, quando egli riebbe il lume.	3 And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.
4 Tutto l'altro tempo della sua vita fu con letizia, e con buono profitto di timore di Dio, e morì in pace.	4 Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;
5 E nell' ora della sua morte chiamò a sè Tobia suo figliuolo, e sette giovani suoi figliuoli, e disse loro:	5 And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.
6 Egli s' appressa il tempo della distruzione di Ninive; certo la parola di Dio non viene meno; e i nostri fratelli, che sono dispersi della terra d' Israel, torneranno a lei.	6 And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury their idols.
7 E tutta la sua terra deserta si riempirà, e la casa di Dio, che si arse, un' altra volta si riedificherà; e ivi torneranno tutti quelli che temono Iddio.	7 So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.
8 E le genti lasceranno i loro idoli; e verranno in Ierusalem, e abiteranno ivi dentro.	8 And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass.
9 E tutti i re della terra si rallegreranno in lei, adorando il re d' Israel.	9 But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee.
10 Adunque, figliuoli miei, udite il vostro padre: servite a Dio in veritade, e investigate acciò che voi facciate le cose che a lui piacciono.	10 And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.
11 E comandate a' vostri figliuoli, che facciano giustizie ed elemosine, acciò che si ricordino di Dio, e benedicano lui in ogni tempo, in veritade e in tutta la loro virtude.	11 Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.
12 Adunque, figliuoli miei, ora mi udite, e non dimorate qui; ma in qualunque di voi seppellirete la vostra madre a lato a me in uno sepolcro, incontanente vi partite quinci.	12 And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and children to Ecbatane to Raguel his father in law,
13 Imperciò ch' io veggio che la iniquitade di questa cittade le darà fine.	13 Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit's.
14 E così venne [che] Tobia, dopo la morte della sua madre, si partì da Ninive. con la moglie sua, e coi figliuoli e colli figliuoli de' suoi figliuoli; e tornossi alli suoi suoceri.	14 And he died at Ecbatane in Media, being an hundred and seven and twenty years old.
15 E trovolli sani e salvi in buona vecchiezza; e portossi bene di loro, ed egli chiuse i suoi occhii; ed (egli) ebbe tutta la eredità della casa di Raguel, e vidde insino alla quinta generazione i figliuoli dei suoi figliuoli.	15 But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.
16 E poi ch' ebbe compiuto novantanove anni nel timore di Dio, con gaudio egli fu seppellito
17 da tutto il suo parentado. E tutta la sua generazione perseveroe in santa e buona vita, in tal modo ch' egli fu grazioso a Dio e agli uomini e a tutti gli abitatori della terra.
